I am the Loremaster

Well, of course I left this one until last. Here I am getting my final achievement for TAFTCITD, with Our Glorious Leader, Organics.

At least I aint chicken

I love how Blizzard has put some fan service into the game. BRK got this, Phaelia got this, and, of course, the immortal Ben Schultz gets this:

Big thanks to guildie Cheeks and friend of the guild Crimsonblade for their help with this one.

The final stretch

So, another day, another heroic, and another achievement (or two).


In other news, version 2 of Loremaster is up. You can now get a list of quests to complete for your Loremaster achievements! Check it out, the link is on the right.

Loremaster (the easy one)

I ran out of time tonight, and the heroic was Oculus (no chance getting a group for that), so I had to go for a fallback that I was hoping to save - Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms.



The reason I ran out of time is quite interesting though - I was working on Loremaster (the addon). I want to be able to show a checklist of quests to complete but my coding ability is limited, so I wanted to piggyback on EveryQuest to do it. I have requested that the author add support but I'm not getting any joy, so I'm going to have to do something myself. I tried writing some code to show a similar window but realised I would need a lot more data than I currently am putting in to get that - I would basically be duplicating EveryQuest, something I wish to avoid. My next idea was to write a filter for EQ, but I realised that would still require the author to add it to his code.

However, I have a new idea. I am 90% sure it will work. If it does, there should be a new version of Loremaster in the next few days. Possibly after TAFTCITD is complete. Watch this space.

I'm so tired

Exalted Champion of Sen'jin. On to the next.

Dragon me down (sorry)

I completed a few achievements today, but the one that counts for TAFTCITD is 25 Dungeon or Raid Emblems. I also got VH (heroic) and Defenseless. I apologise for the pictures, I also got some nice loot into the bargain.

But it's so beautiful!

Forgot to post this yesterday, but I completed the last of my 'easy' achievements yesterday - Second That Emotion. The rest all require a group or a fair bit of time or money or luck to finish.

A real man makes his own

Got a bit lucky today. As I was doing the Zul'Drak dailies for Argent Crusade rep, the inestimable SilverDragon popped up and I was able to kill this fella for Northern Exposure.

Ow, right in the wallet

And I only had to buy 320 Frostweave to do it. Ouch.

IoC? OIC.

Isle of Conquest is actually really cool. It's like WG, but far more understandable and much quicker. And I broke down the doors of the Alliance fortress with a Siege Engine - super awesome.

EDIT:Picasa was down for maintenance last night but here is the pic now:


I also got (Exalted) Champion of the Undercity - just two to go.

All we have to do now / Is take these lies and make them true somehow

Nice easy one for tonight - Freedom of the Horde. Couldn't be bothered to do any more.

Also spent a fair bit of time working on Loremaster  of Kalimdor. It's getting expensive as I'm currently doing The T0.5 questline - pricy.

Neither up nor down

So, 15 days in, and still going strong. Storm Capper was much easier than I expected, not having done EotS for a while. So that's all but one of the BGs done, and I only need a win on the last one.

Owning the Basin

This one was another I was a little concerned about. Having done the easy ones, I wasn't sure which one I could get. The Assassin requires 5 kills at all bases - fortunately not all by me.

If you've done the Basin, you'll know sometimes the battle ranges all over the map, sometimes just one or two bases constantly change hands. I was fortunate on my second go today that I got one of the former kind. Course, this is about the tenth time I've run it over the course of this challenge, so I'm glad this one's done.

On another note, Loremaster of Kalimdor may be harder than I thought - I still need about 70 quests and ones that count are spread all over the place. I think I'll try and cut them down tomorrow. I have tons available for Eastern Kingdoms though - I feel these still need some balance, but I doubt this will be changed before Cataclysm now.

Plus, I also completed Zul'Aman today, with the worst group ever. Basically, we were just boosting a 72 and his mates through. Ugh.

Twofer

Thanks to my guild leader and a friend, I finally got Loremaster of Northrend and, as a bonus, The Bread Winner. That one doesn't count, as I already had a General achievement, so I didn't waste it.

Organics was telling me his ambition is to get The Insane title, which is just mad. I can't see me ever doing it, but it's quite an ambition. I haven't seen anyone with that title, and it wouldn't surprise me if nobody on the server has it yet. Good luck to you!

They Love Me In That...Chapel

After 3 days of working towards it, I finally got Exalted with the Dawn. It wasn't hard, but it was tedious. 2 more reps to go, and while Argent Crusade should be okay, I also need to get one of the BC reps up, and I'm not really close on any of them :/

I got skills, they're multiplyin'

I got Skills to Pay the Bills. Just. Too tired now. I'll write about it tomorrow.

EDIT: I didn't get Skills to Pay the Bills at all of course - I got Working Day and Night. I was very tired.

Lame

I was going to do AD rep tonight, but after a couple of Strat runs I realised it was going to take a bit longer than I thought. Unfortunately, it was past my bedtime so I had to take my emergency option - I completed Well Read. I feel dirty and stupid.

That'll learn me

Should have logged in before I left for work this morning. If I had, I wouldn't have been faced with this at lunchtime:

Polish your own helm

After months of slogging away at Hodir rep, I finally realize that I could have just bought a bunch of rep items on the AH and saved myself the trouble. Never mind, it's done now. And it got me to 10 Exalted Reputations, so tomorrow I can start work on my AD rep as previously discussed.

Thank Jeebus that I won't have to bother with that on my alts as the enchants are becoming BoA soon.

Easy does it

Warsong Gulch Perfection was easier than I could have hoped - first time out we got a lovely easy win. Thanks, Alliance friends! On the downside, a little ally /spat on me when I took the boat from Theramore (I was doing this quest on my way to Loremaster). Not pleasant.
